Elon Musk's market-moving power is apparently waning, or perhaps the wisdom of Adam Smith just isn't as thrilling as a picture of a dog. The immediate reaction was a collective shrug: ETH down 0.13% in the first minute, DOGE down 0.17%, and the meme-ier GORK down 0.25%, with losses generally persisting or deepening slightly over ten minutes. This volatility is remarkably tame, especially when compared to the wild, often contradictory swings his similar "wise words" posts have triggered historically, where assets like ETH have swung from a 0.51% gain to a 0.53% loss. It seems the market has finally shown mercy to the guilty post, which is the opposite of cruel but terribly boring for the innocent trader.
